Large numbers of Chinese Parisians rallied at the Place de la Republique. An umbrella organisation, Stop the Violence, Security for All, called the protest two weeks after around 1,000 people marched in the Aubervilliers suburb north of Paris where the tailor was killed. On Sunday, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve pledged to beef up the police presence in Aubervilliers and help finance security cameras. Aubervilliers, home to generations of Chinese immigrants, is the hub of Europe's textile industry, where traders recently opened the continent's biggest garment centre. Stop the Violence staged demonstrations in 2010 and 2011 in the eastern Belleville section of Paris, home to another sizeable Chinese community, after an attack on a wedding banquet there.
